Dada was an international movement among european artists and writers in the early 20th century which began in Zurich, Switzerland, during the first world war. Dada was anti war, and anti art, it was supposed to mean nothing and not imply any cultural or religious belief. This was a revolt in society against the government, unlike WW1 posters which potentially sent millions to their death during the war.
Dadaism has one rule, no rules. Assemblage, collage, photomontage and the use of random objects are just some of the main characteristics that visually make up the art (or non-art) that Dada artists (or non-artists) produced. Dadaism is ridicule and revolt against art and any standing rules but its artists were all extremely serious. Abstraction and expressionism were its main influences, followed by cubism and to a lesser extent futurism.
